Playoffs?!?!?!?!

The Playoff Scenarios were e-mailed to everyone this morning. E-mail me if you didn't get a copy. For those that did, here is a much simpler break down.

Josh- In

Beers- In

Erin/Eric- In with a win.

Scott- In with a win.

Derek- In with a win and EITHER a Scott OR Erin/Eric loss.

Kevin- In with a win and BOTH a Scott AND Erin/Eric loss, but if Derek also loses, he'll have to get in on points.

You people love poker so think of it this way. Josh folds pre-flop with high stack. Beers folds pre-flop with second high stack. Erin/Eric have jack pair. Scott has a pair of 4s, Derek has A-K off suit. Kevin has 2-4 suited.

That may give you the same odds as everyone involved has of making the playoffs.

Obscure New Rule should be Remembered this Week

Under Waiver Rules:

Is there anything different in Waiver Claims than Last Year or every other league or am I wasting my time reading this? - No you’re not. Here is the biggest difference in waiver claiming and free agent signing from previous years to this years’. As a rule, after the end of the regular season, only teams alive in the playoffs are allowed to make Waivers and Free Agent acquisitions and put them on their permanent rosters. While this rule will stay in effect ANY WAIVER CLAIM OR FREE AGENT ACQUISITION OR RELEASE WILL BE REVERSED AT THE END OF THE FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON.

What this means is this week is the last week to make waiver claims for this offseason. Non-playoff teams rosters will be frozen after the Week 13 games and Playoff teams will have any waiver pickups and drops reversed after the team is eliminated from the playoffs. So if you see a "diamond in the rough" on the waiver wire, this week is your last chance to get him.

Trade Deadline Passes

The In-Season Trade Deadline has come and gone without even a whimper. My theory is that the imbalance of 8 teams in the playoff hunt (buyers) and 2 teams not (sellers, especially these 2 particularly infamous for high demands) created a market that many eyeing a playoff push weren't comfortable dealing in. There is too much uncertainty right now. Three very good teams and five teams that COULD be good enough. I do expect a busy and fun trading offseason as owners try to manipulate the keeper cap system to their advantage.

Trading Deadline

Everyone on my team is on the trading block.
Time is ticking away.
What will it be?
Deal?
Or No Deal?

Trade Deadline

Is today at 5:00pm.

Cranked!

(AP) New Brunswick, NJ - The 2005 World Champion Scope Creep team raised the white flag and looked to the future by trading WR Terrell Owens to Crank It Down today for a 3rd round draft pick in the 2007 player draft. Along with trade is a conditional agreement which states that if Crank It Down wins the 2006 title they would also send a 7th round selection to Scope Creep in exchange for Creep's 10th rounder in the 2007.

The Scope Creep organization for some time had been trying to make moves to remain competitive, but given its winless state the team decided it was best get value now and prepare for future. In a brief press conference, GM Dan Greco noted, "While we are not giving up on the season we realize that 2006 post season is out of reach. The organization has made a transaction that we feel will help us be competitive in 2007. We are continuing the evaluation process which could result in more transactions in the very near future". Greco add, " We wish Mr. Owens the best in his future endeavours and hope that he will not feel like in second fiddle with his new organization either on or off the field".

Vote No on 1

Vote No if you believe. . . . . . . . . . .

• Leveling the field of play for all non-playoff teams by awarding the team with the worst record from the previous season the first overall selection in the next year's draft.

If you believe this then.....

The Main Event: Election Day!

Fellow owners,
It is time to exercise your right to vote! As your commissioner, I am proposing two ballot initiatives that are probably better to be settled before season end. If anyone has any other issues for 2007 that are better settled now by all means e-mail them to me. For now I propose

Question 1: To set next year's draft order among non-playoff teams determined by random drawing, day of draft like the whole order was done this past August.

YES- Adopts the "Draft Lottery"
NO- Keeps the "Worst Record, First Pick" system we've always used sorting order by inverse record

Question 2: To set the 2008 Keeper Cap to the estimated Average Keeper Caps of each team in the league. For example, if the average of the 10 teams Keeper Caps is 41.9, the Keeper Cap is set at $42 for the following year.

YES- Adopts the "Average Cap Rule"
NO- Allows Commissioner to set the 2008 Keeper Cap in August 2007

Discussion will end Tuesday, November 14th when YES and NO votes will be solicited.

Plenty of Room...

On the 4th and Lynches Bandwagon!
